Setup, Compatibility & Care
Ensure your PC or console meets the minimum hardware requirements for smooth 2D rendering. If playing the physical Blu-ray edition on PlayStation 4, insert the disc and allow for any initial updates to ensure the latest patches are installed. To care for your disc, always store it in its protective case away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. For PC users, ensure your controller drivers are up to date, as the game is best enjoyed with a gamepad rather than a keyboard.
